Dialogue "Made in Chongqing" Chief Designer of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge: There are more "century projects" waiting for us in the future.

Today (24th), after six years of preparatory work and nine years of formal construction, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was officially opened to traffic. Behind this "century project" that shocked the world, there is a person who deeply participated in the whole process of bridge construction. He is Meng Fanchao, a bridge and tunnel student of Chongqing Jiaotong University in 1978 and now the chief designer of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. In his busy schedule, he accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from Hualong. com.

The heart of serving the country-

He devoted himself to the first-line exhibition and cultivated the bridge field for nearly 40 years.

The total length of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is about 55 kilometers, of which the main works include a 22.9-kilometer bridge, a 6.7-kilometer submarine tunnel and artificial islands in the east and west connecting the tunnel and the bridge. From scheme design to construction, China has created one project after another, breaking the limit of offshore bridge engineering in the world. It took 15 years from the establishment, construction and completion of the bridge, and the chief designer Meng Fanchao witnessed the whole process.

As early as 1980s, Meng Fanchao visited developed countries, and wherever he went, a modern transportation system had already been built, which deeply stimulated him. "We should do the same. We must step up planning and construction of expressways and bridges." Meng Fanchao said that it was this sense of urgency that prompted him to devote himself to the front line, to practice in his own field and to catch up.

Since 1982, Meng Fanchao has been deeply involved in the bridge design industry for nearly 40 years, witnessed the modernization of the national transportation system from toddler to soaring, and presided over and participated in the design of more than 20 advanced bridges in China and even in the world.

"It is the reform and opening up that has brought us opportunities, and thanks to the country for providing us with a stage to display our ambitions." Meng Fanchao said.

Overcome the "century project"-

Put forward the concept of "four modernizations" and complete hundreds of scientific research innovations

In 2004, Meng Fanchao received the task of designing the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and began to undertake the feasibility study of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. Since then, Meng Fanchao, together with more than 30,000 bridge builders, has challenged this "century project".

In Meng Fanchao’s view, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is not only a traffic construction project in China, but also a super project in the world. Therefore, the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge must have an international vision and mind. "We must build a leading bridge in the world today."

As a world-class super project, it must be supported by world-class quality. It is the special location of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the positioning of super-projects, the complexity of construction conditions and the requirements of technological innovation that determine that there are four major challenges in the construction process-engineering technology challenges, construction safety challenges, environmental protection challenges and construction management challenges.

Under the pressure of these "four challenges", Meng Fanchao put forward the concept of "large-scale, factory-oriented, standardized and assembled", also known as "four modernizations", which was recognized and supported by the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Administration and Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.

By the eve of opening to traffic, the research team of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge had completed 31 innovative construction methods, 13 innovative software, 31 innovative equipment and 3 innovative products, and applied for 454 patents. "This is the most innovative project in a single bridge and tunnel in the world. It can be said that without innovation, there would be no Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao today." Meng Fanchao said.

At present, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is a sea-crossing bridge with the longest mileage, the longest service life, the largest steel structure, the most difficult construction, the longest immersed tunnel, the highest technical content and the largest scientific patents and investment amount in the world. The technology and equipment scale of the bridge project have created many world records.

Ingenuity does not forget the way-

I went back to my alma mater Chongqing Jiaotong University many times to talk to young students.

On the eve of the official opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, on the afternoon of October 20th, Meng Fanchao returned to his alma mater, Chongqing Jiaotong University, to participate in a series of commemorative activities of "Meet for 40 Years" for the alumni of the Department of Road and Bridge.

According to official website of Chongqing Jiaotong University, on the same day, in the academic exchange session with the theme of "New Achievements and New Thinking of Transportation Science and Technology", Meng Fanchao gave a wonderful speech entitled "My Bridge Experience and Practice", detailing all the major projects he participated in the construction and design since his employment, especially when he mentioned the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. Facing the world-class bridge designers, the teachers and students present were absorbed and listened carefully.

In the view of Li Shijiao, director of the Liaison Office of Chongqing Jiaotong University, Meng Fanchao is a modest and low-key person who treats teachers, students and all walks of life as a gentleman. "Even if he didn’t have time to go home and take care of his family, he returned to his alma mater many times to guide the construction and development, and the dialogue encouraged the students to grow up, which well explained the two-way spirit of’ going into the endless road’ that his alma mater has always adhered to. The heart of boxing is evident." Li Shizhen said.

李世佼说,几十年来,孟凡超始终不忘当年恩师、全国知名桥梁专家顾安邦教授对桥梁人的热切期盼,希望早日实现从桥梁大国迈向桥梁强国的梦想。而今,他终于圆梦港珠澳大桥,以勇气、担当、协作,煅造着交大烙印的“匠心精神”,我们感到由衷地自豪和骄傲。

孟凡超作精彩演讲。 校方供图 华龙网发

》》对话孟凡超

华龙网:昨天港珠澳大桥举行开通仪式时,您在哪里?

孟凡超:我作为大桥管理和施工方面的代表之一,在东人工岛接受习总书记会见,他与我们一一握手、亲切交谈,让我倍感振奋,深受鼓舞。

华龙网:这些年多次上桥,正式开通后的感受有什么不同?

孟凡超:2016年6月份大桥主体结构就完工了,那时候就已经可以在上面跑了,但到处都是热火朝天的施工场景。现在不同了,大桥开通后,再到桥上去,感受更多的就是壮观、豪迈、大气,看到沿途的景观艺术、建筑风采都完整地呈现出来,就像自己孕育的孩子一样,满是自豪。

Hualong. com: After the opening of the bridge, many residents went to experience it today. In your opinion, what impact and effect will the bridge bring?

Meng Fanchao: The bridge connects Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao into a whole, and makes Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area realize urbanization and integration. Like new york, San Francisco and Tokyo Bay Area, it is more convenient to promote the life of Bay Area residents through the transportation in the same city, but the future population and economic aggregate of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will not be comparable to any existing world-class Bay Area.

The great significance of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is that it will completely change the population structure, economic structure and traffic status of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, promote the emergence of new lifestyles and new development models, and promote the integrated development of the three places. The indirect GDP may reach several trillion yuan or even more than ten trillion yuan.

As far as the bridge construction itself is concerned, in the ten years of bridge design and construction, we have made great efforts to innovate and trained a large number of engineering talents who have mastered the core construction technology, and the level of engineering design, construction and construction will reach a new level. It has accumulated experience and confidence for other large-scale projects in the future.

Hualong. com: The life expectancy of the bridge is 120 years. What measures are taken to ensure its realization?

Meng Fanchao: The construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge stands at the height of the whole country and is of great significance to promoting the development of Greater Bay Area. This urges us to adopt ultra-high standards for construction quality control, such as the thickness of concrete protective layer, corrosion-resistant steel bars, the dimensional accuracy of immersed tube steel bars in island tunnel projects, and the docking error of submerged tubes, and so on.

To ensure the service life of the bridge for 120 years means that all possible natural disasters, the erosion of the bridge structure by seawater and atmosphere, and even the fatigue and aging of the bridge itself should be taken into account. Therefore, during the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, we adopted the methods of large-scale, factory-based, standardization and assembly (that is, "four modernizations"). On the one hand, our principle is no blind area, all-round, all requirements can be reached, inspected, repaired and replaced; On the other hand, for permanent structures that cannot be replaced, we will guarantee the service life of more than 120 years.

Under the concept of "four modernizations", the problems of bridge island tunnel landscape culture and art, steel pipe composite pile foundation, high-precision assembly technology of bridge island tunnel and 120-year durability technology have been overcome, and hundreds of patent achievements have been obtained in this way.

Hualong. com: Are there any other projects you want to challenge after the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge?

Meng Fanchao: To the north of the Pearl River Delta, there are at least five or six large bridges waiting for us, such as Taiwan Province Strait Bridge, Qiongzhou Strait Bridge and Bohai Bay Passage. For us, the economic strength, technical level and engineering resources of bridge construction are still full of confidence, especially after the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has accumulated a large number of talents and technical experience.

Hualong. com: As an excellent graduate of Chongqing Jiaotong University, what do you think of your college career?

Meng Fanchao: It happened in 1978 when I entered the university. Everyone cherished the hard-won opportunity to study. At that time, our life was very simple. Every day, there were three points and one line in the classroom, dormitory and canteen, reading, self-study and homework. When we were tired of reading, we asked a few people to play ball games for a change and exercise. It’s not easy to become a college student. At that time, I thought I must study hard and make contributions to national construction.

Hualong. com: Over the years, you have come back to Chongqing many times. What do you think of Chongqing?

Meng Fanchao: The development of Chongqing is obvious to all. Especially after the direct administration, Chongqing’s transportation system has developed rapidly and high-rise buildings abound, showing a prosperous scene. Together with the natural environment where the two rivers meet, it has created this unique mountain city that is rare in the whole country. As a student coming out of Chongqing, I feel very gratified and proud. It is hoped that Chongqing will be able to build more high-quality bridges in the future, improve the rapid transportation system and boost the high-quality development of the city.

Hualong. com: What messages do you have for young students?

Meng Fanchao: First of all, we should devote enough energy to basic study and professional study. On the premise of laying a solid foundation and ensuring intensive study, we should also have a certain breadth of knowledge. An excellent engineer, whether engaged in construction or design, has a wealth of knowledge. After entering the post, it is not only things in books that show his ability, but also humanities, politics, economy, history, geography and so on can help you broaden your horizons.

Nearly 3000 Chongqing people participated in the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. Respondents for the picture Hualong. com

A polluting enterprise in Jiangsu was reported for 8 years, and the mayor came forward to tear it down for a week. He is checking whether there is dereliction of duty.

The teacher of Fengwafang Primary School reported that the serious pollution problem of the earthworm company next door has not been solved for 8 years, and the children’s physical and mental health has been seriously affected, and they often cough, and many teachers also suffer from bronchitis.

For Fengwafang Primary School in Yunhe Street, Pizhou, a county-level city in Jiangsu Province, and the surrounding residents, the most celebrated thing in these two days is that the "heart disease" that has plagued for eight years has finally been cured.

"Heart disease" comes from a local commercial concrete company called Dilong. According to the national enterprise credit information publicity system, Pizhou Pheretima Commercial Concrete Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Pheretima Company) was established in 2007 with a registered capital of 28 million yuan. However, since its establishment, the company has caused pollution to the surrounding areas, and the surrounding residents have reported it for 8 years, and it has never been fruitful.

At the end of May, Zhou Tiegen, Mayor of Xuzhou, Chen Jing, Mayor of Pizhou, etc. walked into the hotline program of Jiangsu Province, and after supervising this complaint on the spot, the problem was quickly solved.

Enterprise procedures are incomplete, and it is still "standing" after repeated investigations and punishments.

The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) reporter found that there are many posts on the Internet reflecting the environmental pollution problems of the earthworm company.

For example, in May 2015, some netizens broke the news on the local "Pizhou Forum" in Pizhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou City, and the earthworm company discharged sewage indiscriminately, seriously polluting the surrounding fields. The town-run Fengwafang Primary School is next door to the Dilong Concrete Factory, which is separated by a wall. There is often a thick layer of dust on the windows in schools. When the vehicle passes by, it is even "only dust but no car". Therefore, the villagers hope that it can move out of densely populated residential areas as soon as possible.

Netizens broke the news, using PH test paper to detect sewage, and the test paper immediately turned black.

Relevant government departments have also noticed the problems of earthworm company.

The Paper reporterAccording to official website of Pizhou Housing and Construction Bureau, in September, 2012, the bureau issued suggestions on the investigation and disposal of the pollution of Fengwafang Primary School in Yunhe Town by earthworm company.

According to the field investigation, the school is separated from the earthworm company only by a wall, and a sewage ditch flows out from the south wall of the earthworm company, extending to the school gate and gradually opening up, with a maximum of nearly two meters, which is discharged in the open air. The sewage is bluish-brown, with thick cement turbidity, about 30 meters in length, and directly discharged into the drainage ditch on the west side.

The disposal suggestion given by the bureau is that the Environmental Protection Bureau and the Yunhe Town Government jointly interview the person in charge of the earthworm company. At the same time, earthworm company is required to standardize the way of wastewater discharge and lay underground drainage pipe network.

According to official website of Pizhou Environmental Protection Bureau,In August, 2015, Pizhou Environmental Protection Bureau issued a written decision on administrative punishment of earthworm company. According to the decision, the commercial concrete production project and supporting environmental protection facilities of earthworm company "have not been accepted or approved for trial production by the environmental protection department, and the main project has been officially put into production without authorization, and pollutants have not been discharged without a sewage permit".In March 2015, the Environmental Protection Bureau ordered the unit to stop the sewage discharge immediately, but during the on-site inspection in June of the same year, it was found that the sewage discharge had not stopped.

In this regard, Pizhou Environmental Protection Bureau once again ordered the earthworm company to stop production immediately, with a total fine of 180,000 yuan.

According to Article 77 of the Regulations on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution in Jiangsu Province, if air pollutants are discharged without a pollution discharge permit, "the competent administrative department of environmental protection shall order it to stop pollution discharge or restrict production, stop production and rectify, and impose a fine of not less than 100,000 yuan but not more than 1 million yuan; If the circumstances are serious, it shall be reported to the people’s government with the right of approval and ordered to suspend business or close down. " According to the punishment, it can be seen that Pizhou Environmental Protection Bureau didn’t recognize the "serious circumstances" of earthworm company.

Despite being punished many times, the pollution problem of earthworm company has not been cured.. This enterprise, which has been incomplete since its establishment, has been reported for 8 years and is still "standing".

The mayor was "ashamed" and earthworm was demolished within a week.

On May 27th, 2016, the political hotline of Jiangsu Province entered Xuzhou, attended by Zhou Tiegen, mayor of Xuzhou, and principals of relevant departments of various districts, counties and cities.

The political hotline of Jiangsu Province is a TV broadcast program led by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and participated by many media. Leading cadres of local or government departments should take the lead in entering radio stations, TV stations and webcasts, actively communicate with the masses, listen to their voices and do things for them.

At the activity site, the teacher of Fengwafang Primary School reported that the serious pollution problem of the earthworm company next door has not been solved for 8 years, the children’s physical and mental health has been seriously affected, they often cough, and many teachers also suffer from bronchitis.The school teacher jointly wrote a letter to report that "the request for closure or relocation was threatened by the earthworm company".

In this regard, Chen Jing, the mayor of Pizhou, said that the fine failed to cure the problem, which showed that there was no linkage awareness among various departments, and it also reflected the drawbacks and shortcomings of administrative law enforcement.

Chen Jing said: "We didn’t pay enough attention to the problem. At that time, everyone thought that we would move in two years and the work would be delayed. I felt very ashamed."

The mayor made a statement and the problem was solved.

Zhang Yun, the propaganda committee member of Canal Sub-district Office where Lumbricus Company is located, told The Paper that by May 30th, all 12 cement tanks of Lumbricus Company had been dismantled, and other plant equipment was also being dismantled. "There is no possibility of resuming work", and Lumbricus Company will find a new site by itself. Zhang Yun said that it is not clear what plans will be made for the demolished land in the future.

Pizhou Municipal Committee set up a joint investigation team to conduct a comprehensive inventory.

In the past eight years, how has the canal street where the enterprise is located handled this problem?

Zhang Yun said that the Canal Sub-district Office is aware of the demands of Fengwafang Primary School and surrounding residents, and has been actively coordinating this, such as reflecting problems to the environmental protection department and urging enterprises to build noise isolation equipment.

How does the EPA look at this matter? Yang Yang, deputy director of Pizhou Environmental Protection Bureau in charge of environmental monitoring and letters and visits, told The Paper that he was also "very ashamed". At present, the earthworm company has been dismantled on the spot, and there is no possibility of "resurgence".

Yang Yang doesn’t want to talk about details such as whether the punishment for earthworm company is in place in the past eight years. He said,The Commission for Discipline Inspection of Pizhou City is investigating the Environmental Protection Bureau and has interviewed many business departments.

Yang Yang said that the Environmental Protection Bureau will fully cooperate with the investigation of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and humbly accept any processing results of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

According to Xinhua Daily,In response to this matter, the Pizhou Municipal Committee has set up a joint working group, and the Supervision Bureau of the Commission for Discipline Inspection has also intervened. It will conduct a comprehensive inventory of the dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty of various competent departments in the past eight years and even issues that may involve violations of the law..

Insurance companies such as China Life Insurance, China Pacific Insurance, New China Life Insurance, Sunshine Life Insurance, Hezhong Life Insurance, Qianhai Life Insurance, Evergrande Life Insurance, Junkang Life Insurance and Renhe Life Insurance have also announced or substantially intervened in the investment in the old-age community, and the total investment and planned investment has exceeded 100 billion yuan.

It can be seen that since 2006, insurance companies represented by Hezhong and Taikang entered the pension industry, the natural complementary gene of insurance+pension has been fully verified, and the insurance department has become one of the important forces participating in the investment+operation of the pension industry, and more innovative models will be born in the future.

This time, AgeLifePro will systematically review the motivation, participation mode, development process and future trend of insurance companies participating in the pension industry, hoping to bring some valuable reference to the pension industry.

part1

Why do insurance companies have laid out their pensions one after another?

one

policy support

The policy has experienced a progressive process from caution, to liberalization, and then to rational regulation. In 2009, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission issued the Measures for Insurance Investment in Real Estate and the Measures for Insurance Investment in Equity, which allowed insurance companies to invest in real estate and corporate equity, thus opening the prelude to policies to encourage insurance companies to enter the pension industry.

On November 19th, 2009, with the support of policies, China Insurance Regulatory Commission issued the Notice on Filing Taikang-Pension Community Equity Investment Plan, and approved Taikang to set up a pension community. In 2010, Taikang House was established, which indicated that the policy of insurance investment for the aged really landed.

Figure: Measures for the Administration of the Use of Insurance Funds

After the insurance companies have invested heavily in assets, the policies have become more rational and perfect. On January 24, 2018, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission issued the Administrative Measures for the Use of Insurance Funds (the "Measures for the Use of New Insurance Funds"). The new measures have two new principles: First, the use of insurance funds must be aimed at serving the insurance industry (that is, the well-known "insurance surname"), and second, the use of insurance funds should adhere to independent operation and not be interfered by shareholders in violation of regulations.

In addition, the new measures for the use of insurance funds and the Outline of the 13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Insurance Industry in China issued by the China Insurance Regulatory Commission also mentioned that insurance funds should be allowed to invest in asset securitization products, broaden the service fields of insurance funds, and innovate the use methods of insurance funds (encouraging the establishment of professional insurance asset management institutions such as real estate, infrastructure and pension, and allowing professional insurance asset management institutions to set up mezzanine funds, merger and acquisition funds, real estate funds, etc.).

Focus on the development of insurance companies themselves

1. Investing in heavy assets for the aged can improve the solvency of insurance companies.

In the early days of insurance companies entering the pension industry, the investment speed of insurance companies is very fast. By investing in the pension community, we can evaluate and increase the value, create income on the books and improve the solvency. However, it is worth mentioning that after 2017, due to the control of the proportion and solvency of large-scale assets by the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, the feast of evaluating and increasing the value of insurance companies’ investment in pension communities will no longer be available, and insurance companies will no longer be able to obtain solvency, but will be discounted accordingly.

2. It is conducive to alleviating the pressure of "mismatch between long and short" of insurance funds.

There are abundant insurance funds and a large number of investable assets, but at present, the funds mainly enter short-term investment channels such as bank deposits and government bonds, and the investment channels are relatively single, resulting in a mismatch in the maturity of assets and liabilities. As a comprehensive service industry, providing for the aged needs a certain amount of time to settle the service. Considering the long construction period of the old-age community and apartments for the elderly, it also needs a long-term and stable source of funds. Matching the two can alleviate the pressure of "mismatch between long and short" of insurance funds.

3. Promote policy sales.

Figure: Policy sales of listed companies docking with pension communities

The expiration and renewal of commercial insurance has always affected the stable operation of insurance companies. Insurance companies link insurance products with pension services and pension real estate membership, which can increase the attractiveness of insurance products, form differentiated competition, provide customers with more choices, improve customer stickiness and promote policy sales.

According to the survey of 21st century business herald, in 2019, CPIC issued 7,906 qualification letters for the elderly community; The occupancy qualification of Taiping Pension Community Project drove the initial premium of about HK$ 5.6 billion, and the contribution rate of the initial premium reached 18.8%, which became an important contribution force for Taiping’s life insurance companies to promote the growth of new orders.

4. Extend the industrial chain

The rapid development of the old-age care industry has spawned more and more formats. In addition to large-scale old-age care communities with heavy assets, there are also various lightweight service projects covering all aspects of the lives of the elderly. The distribution of insurance funds for the aged can deepen the existing life insurance customers, create services for the elderly around the whole life cycle, link up with engineering insurance, and link down with medical insurance, nursing insurance, endowment insurance, door-to-door service, etc., and then drive the overall development of the company and provide the comprehensive income of the company.

part2

Six innovative modes of insurance enterprises participating in pension industry

one

Real estate investment model based on old-age community

Since Taikang Home built a large-scale community for the aged (CCRC) on a large scale, this model has also become the "correct" idea for insurance companies to intervene in the elderly. This model is based on real estate, and only with the right to use or property rights of real estate can we get the corresponding pension services.

This investment model attaches great importance to asset layout, which can give full play to the comprehensive advantages of insurance companies and integrate development, investment and operation. At the initial stage of entering the pension industry, it was favored by some head insurance companies.

Under the old-age real estate model, the elderly can live in by paying a deposit and a monthly fee, or they can become members, or they can buy relevant insurance products to lock in the right to live in the old-age community in advance. Union Life’s insurance policy+physical endowment insurance plan, Taikang’s "Happiness with a Contract" insurance product innovatively links virtual insurance products with physical communities.

While Taikang, Taiping and China Life successively built large-scale old-age care communities and sold the right to use them, Ping An Real Estate Co., Ltd. also launched the first old-age care project that can sell property rights in Tongxiang City, Zhejiang Province.

In addition to the typical CCRC product types, everyone insurance cooperates with BTG to build an urban pension complex by means of light asset leasing; New China Life Insurance transformed its office building into an apartment for the elderly and a rehabilitation hospital, which means that insurance companies have begun to cover the "urban institutional pension scene".

2

The service mode of going deep into the scene of community home-based care for the aged.

This model mainly provides old-age services for the elderly at home in the community. Insurance companies take advantage of their abundant policy information to provide corresponding intermediary services and charge relevant intermediary fees. This model has a good development prospect in the future under the overall situation that community homes occupy the mainstream of old-age care in China.

Because insurance companies only appear as service intermediaries or traffic platforms in this mode, the investment is light, and large, medium and small insurance companies can participate.

Photo: Love Life "Love+Home Care Service Plan"

Love Life launched the industry’s first "Love+Home Care Product Plan" and became a leading explorer in the field of home care. This product includes a complete set of home care service system and builds an efficient service platform. Combining medical care with nursing care, through the "1+N" consulting professional service, we can solve the comprehensive needs of medical care, pension, nursing and rehabilitation in one stop.

In the early days of entering the old-age care industry, Taikang also took community home-based care for the elderly as the entry point. In January 2008, Taikang Home Wangjing Senior Club officially opened, but this exploration was unsuccessful, which eventually prompted Taikang to choose the heavy asset CCRC model.

three

Establish a professional endowment insurance institution

Since the establishment of the first pension insurance company in December 2004, there are currently nine professional pension insurance institutions in China, namely, caring for the elderly, China Life Pension, Taiping Pension, Yangtze Pension, Taikang Pension, Ping ‘an Pension, Xinhua Pension, Everyone Pension and Hengan Standard Pension, all of which were initiated by medium and large insurance groups.

The core business of pension insurance companies can be divided into trust-based asset management business and contractual commercial insurance business. Trust-based asset management business mainly includes enterprise annuity, occupational annuity, pension products, old-age security management products and third-party asset management business (issuing insurance asset management products and conducting fund management in special accounts of third-party institutions). Contractual commercial insurance business mainly includes health insurance, accident insurance and pension insurance. The specific business situation varies depending on the business development path of each insurance company.

Innovation of financial products for the aged

Figure: China’s three-pillar pension system

This model fits the insurance company’s industry. On the one hand, insurance companies can enrich the supply of commercial endowment insurance products and meet the differentiated endowment insurance needs of customers. Support qualified commercial insurance institutions to actively participate in personal tax deferred commercial pension annuity insurance and innovate housing reverse mortgage pension model. Happiness Life Insurance and People’s Life Insurance both operate reverse mortgage insurance business for personal housing pension.

On the other hand, participate in long-term care insurance. At present, the policy is vigorously encouraging commercial insurance to enter the field of nursing insurance. With the gradual expansion of the pilot scope of the long-term care insurance system, commercial insurance companies can play more roles in the future, and work with the government, individuals and other relevant parties to open up the payment system and promote the development of community embedded institutions. Taikang, China Life Insurance and Qianhai Life Insurance all participated in or calculated to participate in the field of long-term insurance.

five

Construct an ecological circle of insurance+medical care+pension

In this mode, insurance companies often pay attention to medical investment, and give full play to the comprehensive advantages of insurance, medical care and service from both online and online perspectives, so as to build a service ecosystem and realize the closed-loop business of B2B2C, in which pension is an important part.

Figure: Ping An Health Care Service Chain

Ping An has created an "insurance+health care" ecosystem, striving to achieve an online+offline health ecosystem of "upstream health prevention, midstream economic compensation and downstream medical services", and provide customers with life-cycle health management and medical services.

Photo: Pacific Insurance "Insurance+Health+Pension" Ecosphere

Similarly, one of the important directions of CPIC Pension Transformation 2.0 is to build an "insurance+health+pension" ecosystem. Among them, "Pacific Insurance Blueprint" medical service, "Pacific Insurance Wonderful Health" health interaction plan and "CWI Health Examination Center" constitute the "insurance+health" ecosystem; Through its life insurance companies, pension investment companies, Yangtze River pension, and cooperation with Pacific Oubaoting and third-party service providers, it constitutes an "insurance+pension" ecosystem. These two ecological circles can cooperate with the main insurance industry and realize ecological integration.

Sunshine Life Insurance and Qianhai Life Insurance respectively invested in the establishment of Sunshine Fusion Hospital and Guangzhou General Hospital of Qianhai Life Insurance, believing that there will be a further layout in building a healthy ecosystem in the future.

Underwriting comprehensive liability insurance for pension institutions

The daily operation of old-age care institutions will face various risks, and building a sound risk prevention and control system has become an important part of the smooth operation of old-age care institutions. Especially for some large-scale old-age care institutions, asking professional insurance companies to design relevant risk protection products can effectively avoid losses and prevent accidents.

According to the Notice of Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau on Relevant Matters Concerning the Implementation of Comprehensive Liability Insurance for Aged Services (J.M.F.F. [2012] No.424), in September 2012, People’s Insurance Company, Ping ‘an Company and China Life Company became comprehensive liability insurance underwriting companies for aged services in Beijing through government bidding.

part3

The development course of insurance enterprises’ layout pension.

one

Review of the course of insurance enterprises building old-age community

2006-2012: Reference and Exploration Stage

Taikang, Hezhong, China Life Insurance and other insurance companies have visited the United States and Japan to inspect the operation experience of mature old-age communities and explore the construction and operation methods of old-age communities. In November 2009, Taikang Life Insurance took the lead in obtaining the permission of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission to obtain the pilot qualification of investing in the old-age community.

2012-2015: Initial stage of construction

The idea of insurance companies investing in the old-age community has become clear, and the old-age communities invested by insurance companies such as Taikang, Xinhua, Hezhong, Ping An and Taiping have been opened one after another.

In June 2012, the foundation stone was laid for "Taikang House-Yanyuan";

In June 2012, the foundation stone was laid for Xinhua Life Insurance "Xinhua Home" in Beijing;

In September 2012, the "Comprehensive Service Community for Health Care and Pension" invested by Ping An Life Insurance Company of China landed in Tongxiang, Zhejiang;

In October 2013, Hezhong Life Insurance established the first insurance pension community in China-"Wuhan Hezhong Younian Life Pension Community";

In October 2014, the foundation stone of "Wutong Family" of Taiping Life Insurance was laid in Shanghai …

2015-present: accelerate the layout stage

Insurance companies have accelerated the layout, more insurance companies have joined, and they have participated in the old-age care in different cities across the country in two ways: heavy assets and light assets.

By 2020, Taikang has laid out key provinces and cities in China, covering 22 cities in the core areas such as Beijing-Tianjin Wing, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Southwest China and Central China, among which 7 communities have opened, forming a chain operation trend in the east, west, north and south of the country;

China Life has the layout of Guoshou Jiayuan Yunjing (Beijing), Yijing (Tianjin), Lejing (Tianjin) and Yajing (Suzhou), and it also has two home-based retirement projects: Guoshou Kang Xin Community Yikang Home and Guoshou Fubao Community Yikang Home.

Taiping Life Insurance’s old-age community, Shanghai Taiping Wutong Family and Taiping Town Haitang Family, has now opened. In addition, Taiping cooperation projects include Shanghai Happy Home, Ningbo Xingjian Lanting, Dalian Yifang Yijinghui, Kunming Ancient Yunnan Famous City, and Beijing Contemporary Time;

The layout of China Pacific Insurance includes Chengdu International Support Community, Hangzhou International Support Community and Dali International Music Support Community. These three projects have all started, but they have not yet opened …

In addition, insurance companies such as Junkang Life Insurance, Tongfang Global Life Insurance, China Insurance, PICC Life Insurance and Guohua Life Insurance also began to provide for the elderly through investment or cooperation during this period.

2

The insurance companies formally laid out the time point for providing for the aged.

Judging from the time when the insurance companies formally laid out the old-age pension, most of the insurance companies that entered the old-age pension in the early days were large-scale insurance companies, and most of them laid out heavy assets. With the development of time, more and more small and medium-sized insurance companies are also involved in the cause of providing for the aged, and the old-age projects under construction have also changed from CCRC to apartments for the elderly to community home services. In addition, the way insurance companies participate in providing for the aged is more flexible and diverse.

part4

The echelon and location layout of insurance companies to develop old-age care

one

Layout of the four major insurance company echelons for the aged

Looking at the layout of these insurance companies, we can find that they have shown four echelons:

The first echelon is Taikang, Taibao and China Life, which have a clear style of play. Investing in the community for the aged with heavy assets has achieved remarkable results, insisting on the initial intention to continue the national layout, and attaching importance to the combination of medical care and rehabilitation nursing resources allocation.

The second echelon is Taiping and Hezhong. From the original intention to build their own old-age communities in many cities, they finally chose to change from heavy to light, and retreat to advance by means of equity cooperation and acquisition of nursing homes, which can not only reduce the "heavy", but also cut into the key areas of the old-age industrial chain and play an important role in the old-age market in the future.

The third echelon, represented by Xinhua and Ping ‘an, has long been laying out the old-age care and has certain strategic plans, but it is in a state of shallow taste and cautious wait-and-see for the development of old-age real estate.

The fourth echelon is represented by less well-known insurance companies such as Happiness Life Insurance, China Insurance, Love Life Insurance, Guohua Life Insurance, etc. Its mode of developing old-age care is extremely light, and it is innovating and exploring in a certain field. At present, it is mostly in the initial stage of old-age care.

2

The layout of insurance enterprises and the national and urban layout of providing for the aged

 

1. National layout

From the nationwide layout, Taikang Life Insurance, China Pacific Insurance, China Life Insurance and Hezhong Life Insurance are all based on the whole country, mainly CCRC.

Among them, Taikang Life Insurance has formed a nationwide chain layout, linking 22 cities, with the earliest and most perfect layout.

At present, the community under China Pacific Insurance is still in the process of preparation, which is firmly carried out in accordance with the layout of "East-West Progress, North-South Echo, National Layout and All-Age Chain", and has formed a trinity product system of "suburban support (middle-aged elderly people aged 70-79), living and enjoying (young elderly people aged 50-69) and urban support (over 80)".

China Life has implemented the "three points and one line, evergreen all the year round" pension industry layout, and some of its pension projects are still slowly advancing.

From the beginning, Union Life planned to deploy in second-tier cities nationwide, and finally contracted its strategy. At present, its main projects are located in Wuhan, Shenyang and Nanning, and some private nursing homes have been acquired in the Yangtze River Delta.

Different from the national layout of the above four insurance companies, Taiping Life Insurance has established itself in the Yangtze River Delta, and gradually cooperated with neighboring projects such as Ningbo and even the whole country, such as Dalian, Kunming and Shenzhen, from Shanghai to the whole country. Shouhou Everyone, New China Life Insurance and Sunshine Insurance occupy the layout of pension projects in Beijing. Qianhai Life Insurance started from Shenzhen, and will have strategies in Xi ‘an, Nanning, Chengdu and Hainan in the future.

Photo: Everyone’s insurance travel series

Considering the development of the residence market, cities such as Sanya, Dalian, Kunming and Hangzhou are also favored by insurance companies. Insurance companies such as Taikang, Taiping and Hezhong, which have laid out national pension projects, can develop their residence business with the help of pension projects laid out in cities across the country. There are also some insurance companies that have plans to lay out their travel business, such as the travel series products that everyone intends to develop.

2. Urban location layout

In terms of urban location layout, from June 2012, when the foundation stone was laid for Yanyuan, the first old-age care community in Taikang, Beijing, insurance institutions started to build large-scale high-quality old-age care communities in the suburbs, entered the urban areas, and successively laid out some high-quality old-age care institutions. At present, insurance companies such as China Life Insurance, China Pacific Insurance, New China Life Insurance, and Everyone Insurance have all set up pension institutions in urban areas, thus forming a "urban+suburban" product line with full coverage.

According to Litwak, an American scholar, proper service provision for the elderly needs to go through three stages: when the health of the elderly is good, it is most beneficial to live in a community with homogeneous age; When the elderly are disabled, it is most beneficial to live in an age-homogeneous community near their children’s residence; When the degree of disability of the elderly develops to the point where they need 24-hour care, living in a nursing home is the most beneficial.

In the early days, Taikang Insurance, China Life Insurance, China Pacific Insurance, New China Life Insurance, Taiping Life Insurance, China Ping An, Hezhong Life Insurance, Junkang Life Insurance and other large and medium-sized insurance institutions laid out large-scale pension communities in the suburbs as standard. Nowadays, more and more insurance institutions have laid out pension communities in urban areas, such as:

The scheme of "one city chain 1+1" designed by Taibao Jiayuan. That is, the younger elderly can live in the Dongtan Retirement Center of Taibao Home in Chongming for a short time; Middle-aged self-care elders can live in Dongtan Retirement Center for a long time; The elderly with disabilities can be referred to Putuo Kangyang Community through the internal passage of Taibao Home to receive professional care services combining medical care and nursing, and to facilitate relatives to visit nearby;

Everyone’s insurance officer announced the layout mode of "providing for the aged in the heart of the city". At present, there are three old-age care communities located in the urban area of Beijing. In the future, we will start with light assets and lay out high-quality old-age care communities in the core area of the city, which are close to medical care, children and fireworks. "Close to the top three hospitals" will be the primary consideration for the location of old-age care communities;

New China Life Insurance transformed the office building of Liuliqiao in Beijing West Third Ring Road into a high-end nursing home with rehabilitation hospital;

China Life piloted the "Yikang Home of China Life Fubao Community" in Shenzhen.

Prospect of the future trend of insurance+pension

Stones from Other Mountains —— American Experience

Figure: Classification of old-age communities according to different service types.

According to the experience of the United States, according to the different clients, the community for the aged can be divided into six types: active elderly community (AAC), independent living community (IL), assisted living community (AL), professional nursing community (SNF), memory nursing community (MC) and continuous care community (CCRC). It can be seen that with the gradual decline of the self-care ability of the elderly, the types of services they need are more and more professional, and the requirements for the residential community are getting higher and higher, especially the ability of professional care and medical treatment.

Figure: American pension real estate operation mode

American pension real estate involves investors, developers and operators, who form a complete market-oriented system of financing, construction and operation. Among them, the project manager is separated from the holder. The mainstream investor is Real Estate Trust Fund (REITs), which is responsible for raising funds for the development and operation of the project. Developers are responsible for planning and developing pension real estate projects, and operators operate and manage well-developed projects.

Operators adopt two ways for the project. One is the net lease mode, in which REITs companies rent the property to operators, and the operators charge a fixed rental fee every year, and the operators bear the direct operating expenses, community maintenance fees, taxes, insurance fees, etc. The second is the entrusted management mode, in which REITs entrusts its properties to operators, and the operating costs and income are attributed to REITs.

In addition to REITs model, American pension communities can be divided into two different types according to the developer-led or operator-led: one is the developer-led Sun City model, which is aimed at active health of the elderly aged 55-70 and led by real estate developers, and can recover investment and generate profits through the sale of pension concept houses; The second is the CCRC model led by operators, which takes the form of renting to serve three types of elderly people: self-care, intermediary assistance and intermediary care, and only provides real estate lease rights and service enjoyment rights.

Excerpt from "2020 Senior Housing Outlook Report"

According to the "2020 Senior Housing Outlook Report" published by SHN, in 2020, Private equity, public REITs(Private REITs, Institional institutions, etc. are all buyers of housing for the elderly.

At the same time, the financing sources of American housing for the elderly have expanded, and both Private equity and Bank/Finance company have played a great role in the financing of housing for the elderly.

Five Future Trends of Insurance Companies’ Pension Development

Compared with the experience of American pension housing, it is found that the development, investment and operation of China’s pension market are still not very mature. In the past few years, the entry of some large insurance companies and real estate companies has promoted the rapid development of the pension market, but various market participants have not formed a clear division of roles, and many enterprises are integrating investment, development and operation. Until these years, this situation has changed, and there have been more cases of division of labor and cooperation based on their respective professional fields.

Photo: Taiping Life Insurance official website-Taiping Enjoy Home

For example, Taiping Life Insurance has only built Shanghai Wutong Family and the newly opened Sanya Begonia Family. The rest of the projects, such as Shanghai Happy Home, Ningbo Xingjian Lanting, Dalian Yijinghui, Kunming Ancient Yunnan Famous City, Beijing Contemporary Time Li, Suzhou Hecheng and Hangzhou Langhe International Medical Center, are all strategic cooperation projects.

In 2017, Taiping Life joined hands with a third-party organization to launch Taiping Life’s community brand-Taiping Lexiangjia. According to the plan, in the future, at least 16 cities across the country will match the resources of Taiping Lexiang Family Pension Community. Under the unified brand management, all communities in Taiping Lexiangjia carry out standardized management and formulate reasonable and consistent marketing, check-in and check-out procedures. At the same time, the community can also jointly carry out residence business.

In addition, the designated cooperative units of Taiping Life Insurance’s pension service experience include: Yuenianhua Support Center (Shenzhen), Runhua Songhe Support Center (Shenzhen) and Zangmashan Support Community (Qingdao). This mode of cooperation can further make up for the shortcomings of insurance companies in the urban distribution, scale, type and location of pension projects, and provide customers with more choices.

Take China Life as an example. At present, China Life’s community project for the aged is progressing relatively slowly, but it has made some efforts in the field of community home. On December 29th, 2020, the first comprehensive community service center for the aged in Yantian District, which was jointly established by Yantian District Government and China Life Insurance, officially opened. So far, China Life’s community home-based care projects have included: Yikang Home in Fubao Community, Yikang Home in Kang Xin Community, Yuexiang Center in Yantian District, and Youxiangjia Health Care Center in Luohu District under construction.

In addition, Bohai Life Insurance, Tianjin Daji Development Co., Ltd. and Beijing Yangzheng Investment signed a strategic cooperation on the "Home-based Care for the Aged" project in China Jihai Shipping City, Tianjin.

According to the development of the old-age community over the years, zhang yi, vice president of Junkang Life Insurance and general manager of the Health Industry Division, summed up these stages:

Among them, in the "1.0" stage, the property of real estate is stronger, and the procedure is usually in the form of property rights sales of real estate developers and basic old-age services provided by third parties;

The "2.0" stage is a relatively mainstream format with the concept of CCRC in the current market, that is, providing relatively standardized high-quality catering, medical care, care and entertainment services for the elderly in large communities;

In the future "3.0" stage, it will become a trend to realize customization and meet individual needs through science and technology. Specifically, through data mining and intelligent analysis, we can build intelligent systems including smart home, face recognition, mobile housekeeper, vital signs detection, cloud health detection, telemedicine, etc., and provide high-quality and personalized health services and living environment for the elderly through big data analysis.

Figure: Maimai Smart Pension Solution

Therefore, in the future, smart devices and technology will empower the elderly on a larger scale, and insurance companies should also be prepared for this.

On the other hand, insurance companies can also introduce some innovative practices from the main business of insurance, and provide feasible reference ideas for the innovative development of insurance and finance.

Zhu Junsheng, a researcher at the China Insurance and Pension Research Center of Tsinghua University Wudaokou Finance College, said in an interview: "With the increase of the aging population, people’s attention to risks is increasingly shifting from the risk of death to the risk of survival, and more and more attention is paid to old-age care and health … Commercial health insurance and old-age insurance can play a greater role in multi-level medical care and old-age security system."

Figure: Health insurance

As early as 2018, Ping An Insurance launched the first flagship product for the elderly group in its official APP Ping An Health: Ping An I Kangbao Geriatric Care (three-high version), which guarantees "accidental hospitalization+cancer hospitalization" and the insurance age is open to 70 years old, covering the three-high population of "hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia". And such insurance products for the elderly will be more and more.

All the above cases indicate that in the process of developing old-age care, insurance companies have formed five development trends:

1. Pay more and more attention to the direction of light assets, community home and inclusive old-age care, and be more rational and diversified in the layout of old-age care. And more and more emerging insurance companies can also intervene in the cause of providing for the aged in the form of light asset cooperation.

2. Considering the overall situation of home care and community care market, "light assets+heavy services+insurance products" may become a breakthrough point for insurance companies to realize profits in the field of pension real estate. Leaving aside the construction of large-scale old-age communities, insurance companies have a lot of room for innovation in traditional life insurance, long-term care insurance and personal commercial old-age insurance products. If they are matched with community home-based old-age care services, they can further expand the market.

3. With the country giving more support and encouragement policies to the financial innovation of insurance, in the future, insurance participation in pension can amplify the financial attributes of insurance, carry out financial innovation for C-end, and design insurance+pension products with the idea of "combining consumer insurance with savings insurance".

4. Smart devices and technology will empower the elderly on a larger scale. Insurance companies should increase investment in science and technology, break through the "fence" of communities and nursing homes, and provide accurate and thoughtful services for more elderly people with pension needs.

5. Union Life has started to deploy overseas in the industry, and I believe that more insurance companies will participate in it in the future. Foreign pension enterprises are more mature and have a lot of high-quality and cheap assets, which are worth investing by China insurance companies. Moreover, with the hot development of residence, including foreign travel routes will be more popular with customers.

Various ways for insurance companies to develop old-age care

1, with the help of the group’s internal resources to build a community for the aged.

This model appeared in the early stage of the exploration of pension real estate. Some large-scale insurance parent groups have diversified business formats, and there are professional real estate companies under them. They often use the internal resources of the group to set up projects for elderly housing, and the successful projects can be sold to the market. In fact, the selling community model is no different from real estate development, which can quickly recover funds and obtain development profits, thus realizing rolling development. However, under this model, it is difficult to guarantee the community’s old-age service.

The "Comprehensive Service Community for Health Care and Pension" built by Ping An Insurance in the early days was developed and constructed in conjunction with China Ping An Real Estate Group, which integrated three product lines: pension apartment, family community and holiday leisure, with a total construction area of 1.5 million square meters.

The project adopts the mode of "both renting and selling", that is, like commercial real estate, property rights can be bought and sold. Member products are operated by Ping An Real Estate, which only rents and does not sell. At that time, this model was the only pension real estate developed in the form of "selling+holding operation" in the financial department.

Figure: Health Valley Member Service System

Evergrande Real Estate, the parent group of Evergrande Life Insurance, has built the Evergrande Health Valley, creating four parks, namely, Yiyang, Changle, Kangyi and Parent-child, providing 852 types of facilities and 867 comprehensive health management services, covering the whole life cycle from pre-pregnancy, infants to centenarians.

At present, the completed Evergrande Health Valley has been sold to the market. It is understood that Evergrande Health Valley will provide health care and old-age care services to customers through the membership mechanism of "rent, purchase and travel". Customers can become members by renting, buying products in Health Valley or traveling and living in Health Valley, and get membership rights such as health insurance, high-end medical care, health management and health care services. 

Evergrande Life put forward the strategic model of "insurance guarantee+ecological pension+combination of medical care and nursing care", and issued the permanent endowment insurance, which creatively combined insurance products with the old-age community to provide customers with a package of pension plans linking financial planning and pension entity services.

Photo: Everbright Peace of Mind Pension Plan

Everbright Life Insurance launched the "Everbright Peace of Mind Pension Plan", which connects insurance products with Everbright Huichen Pension Service Community to provide customers with a package of pension solutions of "insurance+pension community" and realize the combination of financial products and physical pension. "Everbright Peace of Mind Pension Plan" is divided into two sub-plans:

Plan A serves mid-to-high-end customers through "insurance+long-term care for the aged+preferential service for the aged living in residence", and locks in the occupancy right of Everbright Community in advance for customers. The occupancy right is further divided into "guaranteed occupancy right, priority occupancy right, preferential price right, experience occupancy right", etc., to provide customers with more and clearer protection, with up to six rights holders, including not only customers and their spouses, but also parents of both parties. In addition, the right holder can also enjoy the service of living and providing for the aged at preferential prices all over the country from the date of insurance;

The content of plan B is "insurance+preferential right of living service", with low payment threshold and wider coverage. Six rights holders can enjoy the same level of living service in plan A in advance without staying in the old-age community.

In 2019, Xingbao launched "Star Pension"-a comprehensive solution of pension insurance and pension community. Relying on Fosun Real Estate’s Healthy Honeycomb Platform, the two parties jointly create an exclusive pension community scheme for Fosun Prudential Life Insurance customers-customers can reserve pension annuity by purchasing corresponding insurance products of Fosun Prudential, and Fosun Real Estate promises the rights and interests of customers to stay in the "Fosun Pension Community" in the future. It is reported that if the total premium is more than 2 million, the insured can get the qualification to live in an old-age community.

China Merchants Guanyi Home launched the "Renhe Yijia Comprehensive Pension Plan", with the development strategy of "the same platform, giving equal attention to both light and heavy, and combining medical care with nursing care". China Merchants Renhe Life Insurance focuses on the whole industrial chain of pension insurance products, pension community development and pension community operation services.

Specifically, the pension community in Guangzhou Golden Valley (Renhe Yijia Heyuan) is only open to customers who buy insurance. Only by purchasing more than ten designated insurance products, including "China Merchants Renhe Zhaoying Jinsheng Annuity Insurance" and "China Merchants Renhe Heyue Life whole life insurance", and the accumulated premium payable reaches more than 2 million, can they be eligible to apply for the pension community.

2. Innovative gameplay of insurance+pension

Figure: UC club membership rights

China Insurance launched the UC Club of New Life, and launched membership service for the junior and old people. Members who join the club can enjoy services such as learning, medical care, traveling, doing something and having fun. It is also known that United Life also has plans to form a new senior club.

Guohua Life Insurance has established three companies on medical health and old-age care: Hainan Guohua Kangyang Co., Ltd., Gongqingcheng Zhongke Xukang Medical Industry Investment Partnership, and Guohua Residence Kangyang Co., Ltd. At present, the company’s work in medical care, old-age care and other aspects is in the preparatory stage, and there is no more definite information to disclose.

Love Life put forward the four-in-one ecological strategy of "medical care and insurance" for the aged. In 2020, China International Fair for Trade in Services released the first "insurance+service" home-based care product in the industry-"Love+Home-based Care Product Plan", which provides home-based care solutions for the elderly with the combination of "annuity protection+medical care service".

In addition, Love Life is also a pilot agency for long-term care insurance in Beijing, and has set up a special team with rich experience in care management services, and has become one of the eight financial institutions selected by China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission Financial Support Community Home Care Service Agency Project.

Happy Life, supported by the national policy, launched the reverse mortgage pension insurance product "Happy House Laibao reverse mortgage pension insurance for the elderly (Clause A)", and invested in regional leading pension institutions all over the country through the special equity investment fund for medical pension.

Zhonghong Life Insurance cooperates with Greenland Kangyang to create a cross-border innovative cooperation model of "insurance products+high-end pension community+Kangyang hotel", organically combining insurance financial products with physical pension services to provide customers with more comprehensive pension solutions. This indicates that Zhonghong Insurance has made important progress in building a "health+pension" dual-engine strategic layout.

tag

Insurance and old-age care both start from the whole life cycle of people, and they are strongly related. Looking at overseas, insurance companies have always been an important pillar of the development of old-age care. The social security and market profitability of providing for the aged coincide with the original meaning of the insurance industry.

On the level of social security, the overall security level of the three-pillar pension system in China is relatively low, with the first pillar dominating, but there are also problems of low security level. Therefore, the participation of commercial insurance can improve the level of social security to a certain extent.

As far as market profitability is concerned, with the improvement of the living standards of the elderly and the enhancement of their ability to pay, the demand of the elderly for commercial insurance products is increasingly prominent, and the inclusiveness of products and services with various asset properties is also increasing. There will be great market space for commercial insurance companies to cut in from this aspect and participate in pension real estate, insurance products and pension services.

In recent years, after the previous heavy lifting asset layout, insurance companies are slowly returning to rationality and becoming more and more clear about their own positioning-"insurance surname". They should form differentiated competition through providing for the aged, innovate services, give full play to the advantages of insurance+and build a big healthy ecosystem.

At the moment when long-term insurance is ready to come out and commercial insurance can play more roles, we believe that all insurance companies will participate in the pension industry in their own ways in the future, which makes us more full of expectations for this industry.

National Medical Products Administration standardizes the chaos in the medical and beauty market, and clarifies the management of water needles according to Class III medical devices.

  In the future, if a medical and beauty institution comes up with a product that is not a class III medical device and sells it to you as a "water needle", then this institution can directly pull the black. The Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned that National Medical Products Administration issued a notice on adjusting some contents of the Classification Catalogue of Medical Devices, and "Shuiguangzhen" was clearly regulated according to Class III medical devices.

  survey

  Water-light needle slightly corrects the fire.

  The market is "mixed"

  "Playing a water-light needle is equivalent to applying 1000 masks", "Aunt turns into a girl, only separated by a mixed water-light injection", "One needle can solve N kinds of problems such as hydrating and moisturizing, shrinking pores, lightening fine lines, whitening and removing spots" and "lunch beauty, minimally invasive without moving the knife" … …

  The hydrating and skin care effect of Shuiguangzhen has been aroused by various road networks, and it has become a hot item in the non-surgical "Light medical cosmetology" market, attracting thousands of women to be obsessed with it. The injection operation of Shuiguang needle is very convenient, and the whole process only takes 1-2 hours. It seems to be an "efficient and safe" entry-level medical beauty project. In Little Red Book, there are as many as 100,000 notes on planting grass related to "Shuiguangzhen" and "Shuiguangzhen Medical Beauty".

  At present, the price of a dose of water-light needle ranges from hundreds to thousands, or even tens of thousands of yuan. TF Securities pointed out that from the classification point of view, the scale of non-surgical medical beauty in China has expanded rapidly, while the proportion has remained at around 70%, which is higher than the global average. It is estimated that the scale of young medical beauty industry will exceed 200 billion yuan in 2023.

  Such a huge market is very chaotic. According to the data of "White Paper on Insights into Medical Beauty Industry in China in 2020", at present, the genuine rate of injections circulating in the medical beauty market is only 33.3%, that is, out of every three injections, two are illegal injections such as parallel imports and fakes.

  Chaos

  Medical dressings and cosmetics are on the scene one after another.

  "Shuiguangzhen" market is chaotic

  When the reporter of Beiqing Daily inquired about some medical beauty platforms, it was found that the types of water-light needles used on the platforms were far more than the "sodium hyaluronate for injection" that had been approved as "Class III medical devices". Not only that, the reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed that some products with the status of "Class III medical devices" have been approved for indications that are irrelevant.

  For example, a water-light needle named "Shu Wei Ke", the product name is "Medical Sodium Hyaluronate Gel", and it has also obtained the level of "Class III Medical Device", but its registered application scope is "Auxiliary for preventing and reducing postoperative adhesion of abdominal (pelvic) cavity surgery".

  The "true identity" of more water needles is actually a medical dressing, which can’t be used for injection, and some even only have the record number of cosmetics.

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed that a kind of human collagen bio-repair dressing named "Kelijin" is a Class II medical device, and it has been approved as a product for healing damaged wounds, but it has been used as a water needle injection in some medical and aesthetic institutions. The product of "Yifuquan" water-light collagen is called yeast recombinant collagen liquid dressing, which is also a class II medical device. It has been approved for "adjuvant treatment of skin diseases caused by impaired skin barrier function and improvement of skin itching caused by dermatitis and eczema", etc., and has not been approved for injection. In September, 2020, it was reported that a Yueyang woman was disfigured when she was given a water-light needle, and the organization injected her with "Femander Youth Essence Enhanced" and "levorotatory VC". Among them, "Feimande" belongs to cosmetics, while the box of "levorotatory VC" does not have any Chinese logo.

  Not only that, on some e-commerce platforms, there are hundreds of cosmetics that are actually essence, cream and mask with the identity of "water needle". However, as a medical beauty project, the word "Shuiguangzhen" cannot be put on record through cosmetics. According to insiders, calling cosmetics "water needle" is nothing more than a gimmick made by merchants to improve sales.

  Supervision

  Clarify the identity of "Shuiguangzhen"

  Clear the "edge ball" behavior

  A few days ago, National Medical Products Administration issued an announcement on adjusting some contents of the Classification Catalogue of Medical Devices, which readjusted the classification catalogue of 27 types of medical devices. Among them, especially the catalogue of some medical beauty products has been greatly adjusted. According to the Catalogue, sodium hyaluronate solution for injection, which is the main component of "water-light needle", is used to inject into the dermis, and the skin condition is improved mainly through the moisturizing and hydrating effects of materials such as sodium hyaluronate, and it is regulated according to Class III medical devices.

  Previously, on November 9, 2021, National Medical Products Administration Medical Device Standard Management Center issued a notice on soliciting opinions on the adjustment of the Classification Catalogue of Medical Devices, which further clarified that Shuiguang needles were classified as Class III devices for supervision.

  Analysts believe that the adjustment of some contents of the Catalogue of Medical Devices will have a significant impact on the medical and beauty industry. The most obvious is to strictly control the use of non-compliant products by institutions. Through the classification of medical devices, the "edge ball" behavior in the market is gradually eliminated.

  According to the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Medical Devices, enterprises engaged in the operation of Class III medical devices are subject to business license management, and business units need to hold a Medical Device Operation Record Certificate or a Medical Device Operation License, and the requirements for production technology and aseptic preservation will be much higher than those for Class I and Class II medical devices.

  Shuiguangzhen

  The so-called water-light needle is to inject hyaluronic acid (hyaluronic acid), collagen and other substances into the dermis of the skin by using negative pressure needle to make the skin firm and elastic. National Medical Products Administration Medical Device Technology Evaluation Center once said that water-light acupuncture is a kind of therapy that injects sodium hyaluronate as the main component into the superficial layer of facial dermis to improve the skin condition. As a skin-breaking injection project, water-light needles should be certified as Class III medical devices in National Medical Products Administration before they can be produced and sold.

  However, it takes a long time to apply for Class III business license of medical devices and a lot of experiments are needed, and the production company is required to have a quality management organization or full-time quality management personnel suitable for the scale and scope of business, which makes many businesses opportunistic.

Gaohucheng: From a Big Trading Country to a Powerful Trading Country

  On March 2nd, People’s Daily published an article signed by Gao Hucheng, Minister of Commerce, "From a Big Trading Country to a Powerful Trading Country". The full text is as follows:  

  From a big trading country to a strong trading country

  According to the World Trade Organization, in 2013, China’s total import and export of goods was 4.16 trillion US dollars, ranking first in the world in goods trade. This is a major event in the historical process of China’s opening to the outside world, a major achievement of our party leading the people of the whole country to firmly adhere to the basic national policy of opening to the outside world and fully participate in economic globalization, marking another solid step towards the grand goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way. Achievements are hard won, and the road ahead is not smooth. We can’t relax in the slightest. Only by accelerating the transition from a big trading country to a powerful trading country can we better serve the goal of "two hundred years" and realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.  

  An important milestone in the development of open economy  

  A history of trade development is also a history of the rise and fall of a country and a nation. China is one of the earliest countries to develop foreign trade in history, and it still maintained the first position in the world in terms of economic and trade scale until the Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty. In 1840, the west opened the door of the Qing government’s "closed door" with a strong ship and a sharp gun. Since then, China has become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and its foreign trade has lost its sovereignty and become a semi-colonial foreign trade. The establishment of New China destroyed the imperialist privilege in China, and the foreign economic and trade dominance returned to the people’s hands, and foreign trade began to make a difficult start. Marked by the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, China has implemented the historic decision of reform and opening up, fully participated in international division of labor and cooperation, actively developed economic and trade exchanges with other countries in the world, and achieved a new historical leap in foreign trade in generate.

  China’s foreign trade began in the pre-Qin period, flourished in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and declined in the late Qing Dynasty. After more than 60 years of rapid development since the founding of New China, especially in the 35 years of reform and opening up, China has returned to the first place in the world, creating a miracle in the history of world trade development. For more than 30 years, China’s foreign trade has doubled almost every four years, making it the first developing country to become the world’s largest commodity trading country.  

  China’s foreign trade has become the most active force to promote economic and social development. From 1978 to 2013, China’s total foreign trade increased from $20.6 billion to $4.16 trillion, with an average annual growth rate of 16.4%. In recent years, the contribution rate of foreign trade to economic growth has reached about 18% on average, which directly and indirectly promoted the employment of 180 million people in China and created 18% of the national tax revenue.

  China’s foreign trade really connects the Chinese dream of 1.3 billion people with the world dream of 7 billion people. China is already the largest trading partner of more than 120 countries and regions. From the South Pacific island countries to the African continent, from the eastern end of Eurasia to the two sides of the Atlantic Ocean, the whole world is enjoying high-quality and low-priced goods made in China. The continuous development of foreign trade has made China’s development benefit the world. China can’t live without the world, and the world can’t live without China, which has really become a reality.

  Practice has fully proved that China’s foreign trade has embarked on a development path that suits China’s national conditions and conforms to the world trend, and has created a successful example for developing countries to give full play to their late-comer advantages and grow stronger in the tide of economic globalization. The rich practice of China’s foreign trade is realized under the correct leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), which constitutes an important part of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road, embodies the great creation of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory, shows the great superiority of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, condenses the wisdom and sweat of hundreds of millions of China people, spreads the positive energy of China’s reform and opening up to the international community, and strengthens Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road confidence, theoretical confidence and institutional confidence.

  Face up to the difficulties and challenges faced by the current foreign trade development

  Being the world’s largest commodity trading country brings us joy, but at the same time, it is more calm and worried. At present, the world and national conditions are undergoing profound changes. Looking at China’s foreign trade comprehensively, there are still many aspects that cannot meet the needs of development in the new period. There is still a long and difficult way to go to become a trading power.

  The foundation of innovation and development needs to be strengthened. Innovation is the source of vitality to support the development of foreign trade. The competition in the contemporary international market is basically a struggle for innovation ability. For a long time, China’s products have mainly relied on quantity and price advantages to participate in international competition, and the products lack core competitiveness and low added value. In 2013, the export proportion of China’s electromechanical and high-tech products has reached 57.3% and 29.9%, but the core technologies of many commodities are in the hands of foreign countries. Among them, 61.2% of mechanical and electrical products are produced by foreign-funded enterprises and 51.1% are exported by processing trade; 73% of high-tech products are produced by foreign-funded enterprises, and 65.3% are exported by processing trade.

  The development of service trade lags behind. Although China has become a big country in goods trade, the development of service trade is relatively backward. In 2013, the total import and export volume of China’s service trade was 539.64 billion US dollars, only about half of that of the United States. China is a big country with a trade surplus in goods, but it is also the largest country with a trade deficit in services in the world. In 2013, the trade deficit in services reached US$ 118.46 billion. China’s service export structure is not optimized enough, and the proportion of technology-intensive service exports such as finance and insurance is still relatively low.

  The trade system and mechanism are still not perfect. Over the years, the state has continuously reformed and improved policies and measures such as export tax rebate, export credit and customs clearance facilitation, and the business environment has generally improved significantly. However, there are many policies and means to encourage exports in one direction, and the two-way regulation mechanism with limited promotion and progress has not been fully established, and there is still a tendency to pursue speed and scale unilaterally. It is an important and urgent task for foreign trade development to construct a trade and investment rule system that conforms to both China’s national conditions and high international standards.

  The foreign trade development environment is not optimistic. Externally, the world economy is still in a period of deep adjustment, and generally speaking, it is difficult for the international market demand to return to the stage of sustained high growth before the financial crisis. Domestically, in recent years, China’s labor costs have continued to rise, and the constraints of resources, energy and environment on economic development have intensified. How to form a new advantage in international competition as soon as possible on the basis of consolidating traditional advantages is a major issue that needs to be solved urgently in developing foreign trade.

  Pioneering and enterprising, building a trade power

  The road to the top is not easy. It is even more difficult to maintain the position of number one in the world. Guided by the spirit of the 18th CPC National Congress and the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, we should focus on cultivating new advantages, aim at improving comprehensive benefits, aim at mutual benefit and win-win, accelerate the adjustment of import and export strategies, realize the transformation from a big trading country to a powerful trading country, and better serve the goal of "two hundred years" and the Chinese dream.

  Adhere to the guidance of openness and continue to develop foreign trade. A trading power is the unity of quality and quantity, and quantity is more qualitative, and it is stronger if it is big. Based on the reality of China’s large population and shortage of resources, we should always adhere to the open development thinking, follow the principles of balanced layout, winning by quality, multi-complementarity and multi-point support, and on the basis of maintaining reasonable growth of foreign trade, effectively shift the development goal to quality and efficiency, and pay attention to using two markets and two resources at a higher level.

  Implement innovation drive and accelerate the cultivation of new advantages in foreign trade competition. Only sunset products, no sunset industry. It is necessary to speed up the use of modern technology to transform traditional industries, enhance the scientific, technological and fashion connotation of labor-intensive products, and stabilize the international market share of labor-intensive products. Promote the integration of trade, technology and industry, encourage foreign trade enterprises to carry out scientific and technological innovation, business model innovation and trade format innovation, and cultivate new advantages in foreign trade competition with technology, brand, quality and service as the core. Vigorously develop service trade, encourage the export of intellectual and technology-intensive services, and form a good situation of benign interaction and coordinated development of trade in goods and services.

  Deepen reform in an all-round way and build a new mechanism for sustainable development of foreign trade. We will improve foreign trade promotion policies that conform to China’s national conditions and international practices and reflect the requirements of foreign trade development in the new period, and establish a quality-oriented trade promotion system. Accelerate the construction of import promotion policy system, clear up unreasonable restrictions on import links, and promote the coordinated development of import and export. Make overall plans to promote the construction of free trade parks (Hong Kong), the negotiation of investment agreements and the revision of foreign-related economic and trade laws and regulations, deepen reforms in the fields of finance, taxation, investment, finance, foreign exchange and circulation, release institutional dividends, and stimulate the vitality of foreign trade entities. We will improve working mechanisms such as anti-monopoly, trade remedy and industrial safety review to safeguard national economic security.

  Adhere to mutual benefit and win-win results and actively participate in the formulation of global economic and trade rules. A big country means responsibility and responsibility. In the future, we must go to the forefront of international governance, give play to the influence of the world’s trading powers, and enhance China’s ability to provide public goods to the world and fulfill the responsibilities of big countries. We will continue to regard the multilateral trading system as the main channel to promote the opening of global trade and investment, adhere to trade liberalization in a clear-cut manner, and promote the development of the multilateral trading system in a more balanced, inclusive and win-win direction. Adhere to the principles of openness, inclusiveness and transparency, participate in regional trade cooperation and develop a global free trade network. Improve the global value chain, strengthen the coordination of trade policies, and help developing countries strengthen trade capacity building.

  Xiongguan Man Road is as iron as iron, but now it’s a step from the beginning. We firmly believe that under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, and through the unremitting efforts of all personnel on the foreign trade front, the goal of becoming a strong trading country will be realized, and foreign trade will surely write its own magnificent chapter in the process of realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  Third, key tasks

  (A) to strengthen the organization and mobilization of emergency operations services

  Provincial agricultural and rural departments are responsible for guiding the establishment of an emergency operation service team system in various places within their jurisdiction, clarifying the qualifications of emergency operation service teams according to local conditions, filing and forming a list of agricultural machinery emergency operation service teams and dynamically adjusting them, strengthening daily contact and guidance, and organizing and dispatching operations in a timely manner. Take the county (city, district) as the unit to find out the local agricultural machinery emergency operation service ability, formulate the construction plan of agricultural machinery emergency operation team according to the regional weather and climate characteristics and agricultural production needs, and organize the specific work such as main body mobilization, equipment support, training guidance, operation organization and service evaluation. Relying on agricultural machinery professional cooperatives, agricultural machinery operation service companies and other agricultural machinery socialized service organizations to establish a backbone emergency operation service team, clearly lead the person in charge, and absorb good-quality, skilled and dedicated mechanics as backbone members, and strive to achieve emergency operation capability coverage to all grain-producing towns and villages. Give full play to the organizational advantages and service functions of rural grass-roots party organizations and collective economic organizations, lead party member to play a vanguard and exemplary role, make clear that special personnel are responsible for timely docking emergency operation needs, and organize voluntary services for farmers. Coordinate large agricultural machinery, large planters, family farms, grain drying, storage and processing enterprises as reserve forces, give play to the leading role of the backbone emergency operation service team, and make adequate preparations for sudden major disasters.

  (2) Strengthen the supply guarantee of emergency operation tools.

  County-level agricultural and rural departments should make clear the list of local emergency machines and tools in terms of disaster types, crops and links, judge the gap in the number of types of machines and tools, and take various measures to increase the effective supply of emergency agricultural machinery and spare parts such as dryers, agricultural pumps, sprinkler irrigation machines, crawler tractors and harvesting machines, so as to achieve "organic and capable, adjustable, new functions can be bought and someone can change". Establish a call mechanism for disaster prevention and relief equipment in the region, guide the backbone emergency operation service team to strengthen contact with the main body with applicable equipment, and make overall arrangements to carry out operation services when necessary. According to the way of "promoting the whole county" and "one county, one policy" in the construction of emergency operation service team, we will focus on supporting complete sets of drying and storage facilities and equipment to improve the drying level of the origin. Give full play to the guiding role of the central financial subsidies for the purchase and application of agricultural machinery, "what is lacking, what is supplemented", focus on supporting the emergency operation service teams listed in the list to purchase agricultural machinery and equipment needed for emergency operations, guide local governments to give priority to the inclusion of urgently needed equipment for local agricultural machinery emergency operations in the scope of subsidies, and increase the proportion of subsidies for key equipment according to regulations, and actively use measures such as pilot subsidies for the purchase of new agricultural machinery products and subsidies for the purchase of special appraisal products to support the purchase of new emergency operation equipment. Establish a direct contact system with enterprises such as agricultural machinery production and marketing, modification and maintenance, and enhance the support capacity of agricultural machinery equipment production and modification, spare parts supply and emergency repair. Strengthen communication and cooperation with emergency management and water conservancy departments,The establishment of water pumps and other disaster relief facilities and equipment emergency reserve sharing mode, the formation of disaster prevention and mitigation efforts. Strengthen the construction of hangar shed, maintenance, training and other facilities and drying supporting facilities, strive for construction land, equip necessary equipment, ensure the safe storage of agricultural machinery and facilities for emergency operations, facilitate the immediate maintenance during normal maintenance and emergency operations, meet the needs of emergency operation skills training for disaster prevention and mitigation, maximize the role of drying units, and strive to improve the service capacity of emergency operations.

  (3) Strengthen emergency operation service support and guidance.

  Members of the emergency operation service team and equipment can independently carry out operation services at ordinary times, and encourage the priority of operation service income for the construction of emergency operation service team. The agricultural and rural departments at the county level should supervise and guide the maintenance and repair of emergency equipment to ensure that the equipment is in good condition. All localities should establish and improve the call mechanism of the emergency operation service team. When there is an emergency, the emergency operation service team accepts the unified command and dispatch of the agricultural and rural departments, takes the lead in carrying out emergency operation services, and can support them through the government’s purchase of services, etc., and compensate for the extra losses incurred in the operation to ensure the normal and continuous operation of the emergency operation service team. Agricultural and rural departments at all levels should establish a regional cooperation mechanism, organize emergency operation service teams to provide cross-regional support according to needs, take effective measures to ensure the smooth settlement of operating expenses, and encourage qualified places to give certain subsidies to the emergency operation service teams that provide cross-regional support. It is necessary to intensify efforts to publicize the good experiences, good practices and touching stories of the construction of emergency operation service teams, continuously enhance the sense of responsibility and mission of agricultural machinery disaster prevention and mitigation, and strive to create a good social atmosphere.

  (4) Strengthen the training and guidance of emergency operation skills.

  All localities should formulate and improve the technical system of agricultural machinery emergency operations for disaster prevention and mitigation, organize training and guidance on emergency operations skills, give full play to the role of "local experts" in the use of agricultural machinery, and improve the skills level of key personnel in disaster prevention and mitigation operations. Regularly organize members of the emergency operation service team to carry out practical training such as parameter adjustment of machines and tools, replacement of special parts, emergency modification of machines and tools, and carry out operation drills such as water grabbing and drainage, drought grabbing and watering, lodging crops and harvesting through wetlands, so as to promote operators to master the key points of skills skillfully. After the disaster happens, organize agricultural machinery technical forces to tour the countryside in time, guide the operators to judge the suitable working conditions, scientifically adjust the state of machines and tools, eliminate the faults of working machines and tools, strengthen the awareness of safety production, ensure standardized operation, and strive to improve the quality and efficiency of operations.

  Fourth, safeguard measures

  (1) Strengthen organizational leadership.Agricultural and rural departments at all levels should attach great importance to the construction of agricultural machinery emergency operation service teams, and regard related work as the basic work and basic strength for disaster prevention and relief and response to various emergencies. It is necessary to take into account the current situation facing agricultural production, make preparations in advance, and take into account the long-term needs of agricultural disaster prevention and mitigation, so as to plan ahead. It is necessary to clarify the division of responsibilities, establish a long-term mechanism, implement specific tasks and safeguard measures, ensure that emergency operation service teams can be pulled out, rushed up and managed at critical moments, and strive to provide mechanized support for agricultural production disaster prevention and mitigation.

  (2) Increase policy support.Local agricultural and rural departments should take the initiative to report to the local party committees and governments on the relevant situation of agricultural machinery emergency operation services, actively communicate and coordinate with relevant departments, and increase support for the construction of agricultural machinery emergency operation service teams. It is necessary to make good use of the subsidy policy for the purchase and application of agricultural machinery and support the agricultural machinery emergency operation service team to improve the level of facilities and equipment. To co-ordinate disaster prevention and mitigation, agricultural machinery operation subsidies related project funds, actively strive for local policies, funds, projects and other collaborative efforts, give priority to supporting the agricultural machinery emergency operation service team to carry out emergency operation services and daily agricultural machinery socialization services, purchase applicable machines and equipment, and give priority to supporting disaster-prone areas and major grain producing areas to improve and strengthen the agricultural machinery emergency operation service system to ensure effective landing.

  (3) Strengthen service support.Local agricultural and rural departments should closely track the progress of agricultural mechanization production and the trend of machines and tools within the dispatching jurisdiction, actively judge the supply of machines and tools in combination with the weather conditions, do a good job in docking the supply and demand of emergency operation services, and efficiently deploy emergency workers and machines. To carry out emergency operations, personnel and machines should be provided with services such as road traffic, necessary living security, machine maintenance, and oil supply for operation, so as to improve the efficiency of emergency operations of agricultural machinery and give full play to the potential of emergency operations service teams.

Legal expert article: Where is the end of protectionism?

  Reference News Network reported on February 18, On February 15th, the website of the French newspaper Echo published an article entitled "Where is the end of protectionism? The author is Christian Desbois Searle, emeritus professor at the University of Paris I and vice president of the French Economists Association. The content is compiled as follows:

  At the end of January this year, the first Washington economic talks jointly sponsored by the French Institute of Economists and the French Embassy in the United States were officially held. The main topics discussed in the talks are the development trend of globalization and the challenges faced by international cooperation.

  Are we going to "go global"? Most of the globalization process has been difficult to reverse, and high-tech is a good example. The so-called "de-globalization" is just a split trend involving global trade or capital flow.

  It is in this case that the American Inflation Reduction Act has also become a topic of discussion. Because of this bill, the United States has made most of its major trading partners respond one after another.

  The signal given by the bill brings at least one positive aspect: the United States has begun to pay attention to the response to climate change again. But Europe will also be directly affected, because the attractiveness of funds in the United States has obviously increased. The position of many European companies has pointed to this.

  Europe is no longer as naive as it used to be, and responds by increasing government subsidies. Europe’s strategic thinking is clear: strike back at the subsidy policy of the United States and other unreasonable policies that make competition go astray. However, there is a real challenge behind this: if the subsidy policy is used too much, will there be problems in the European unified market? Many EU member States are hesitant to increase subsidies, because it is very beneficial to those big countries (especially Germany and France).

Different attitudes between small countries and big countries remain an important factor of division. However, the dominant "non-cooperation" situation in public opinion is actually far from being formed. Adam Posen, director of the Peterson Institute for International Economics in the United States, suggested that Europeans "go to the World Trade Organization to launch actions against the United States". In the face of rampant protectionism, this is a good opportunity to rethink how the WTO works and its power.

  When it comes to trade, everyone is used to targeting big trading countries. However, emerging countries and developing countries will be directly affected by the Inflation Reduction Act and other countries’ counter-measures The trade logic of the United States is to distinguish friendly countries from other countries, while Africa and many southern countries are listed as "other countries".

  However, the southern countries have been affected by the tightening of monetary policy in developed countries, and are facing capital flight, currency war and forced interest rate hikes.

  The Washington economic talks also mentioned a topic that the French Economists Association has been talking about for two years: the redistribution of the re-created SDR share, and the transfer of developed countries to southern countries. At present, Africa is expecting, France is pushing, and the US Senate is freezing.

Heroic hymn: Thousands of people pay homage to the heroic activities of volunteers held in Shenyang.

Cctv news On April 5th, the "Ode to Heroes — Shenyang 2023 Qingming Thousand People Memorial Volunteer Heroes Conference was held in Shenyang Martyrs Cemetery to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

At the event, all the staff stood in silence in front of the monument to the unknown martyrs. Accompanied by the "Flower Song", the participants presented wreaths and arranged ribbons to the Monument to the Martyrs to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Deng Sui, president of the Volunteer Research Association, Zhang Yin, executive director of the Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce in Liaoning Province, and Deng Qiping, director of the Martyrs’ Descendants Center, and other representatives expressed their deep memory and high respect to the volunteers.

Deng Sui, president of the Volunteer Research Association of the China Strategy and Management Research Association, said that it is even more different to come to the Shenyang Martyrs Cemetery to resist US aggression and aid Korea as a descendant of the Volunteers. Even in times of peace, we should still remember history. At present, the Volunteer Research Association is planning "The Republic will not forget" — — Theme series activities to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. At the same time, we will cooperate with the Propaganda Department of Liaoning Provincial Party Committee to film "Winning Shangganling". It aims to better carry forward the revolutionary spirit and noble quality of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries who are brave, tenacious, fearless and dedicated. Let young people resonate with the spirit of volunteers through various forms of activities, inherit the spirit of heroism and heroism with practical actions, and continue the red blood.
